Thinking about how Wyatt Callow is proof that Dr. Gaul’s and Snow’s assertion that humanity’s essential nature is violent (which is part of their argument for the Capitol’s control being necessary) is false. That “What happened in the arena? That’s humanity undressed… A boy with a club who beats another boy to death. That’s mankind in its natural state.” is false.

I’m sure he had it all calculated. He knew exactly what choices would give him the best odds of survival. He knew that the faster he got out of the initial bloodshed the better his chances would be. He knew that letting other kids die would benefit his odds of survival. He knew exactly what he should’ve done to preserve himself.

And yet, he threw all those statistics and odds, all that reason and logic out the window in the name of protecting Lou Lou, a girl that wasn’t even from his district. He threw it all out the window in the name of helping another human being that was in an unfair situation and had worse odds than him. He knew who the real enemy was; he knew it wasn’t the other kids being taken advantage of by the Capitol just like him.

That is humanity.

Okay but it’s fucking brilliant that one of the themes of the book was about the distortion of history.

Usually prequels are a dangerous thing to write because unless they’re planned out well in advance, they risk contradicting lore in the main series. Even still, we knew barely anything about Haymitch’s games. They were the perfect stomping ground for new information, with a rough series of events but without a close temporal connection to the main books.

But though she had this freedom and safety net, while she could have just written a story that aligned with what we knew, Collins leaned into the idea of contradicting past lore head on and made it the damn thesis of the book; that yeah, actually, it did play out entirely differently from how the characters saw it, and yes that contradicts what you were told, that’s the point.

We didn’t really know what happened in the 50th games until we read it from Haymitch’s perspective, because what little information we did have was spliced up and edited. The video evidence was processed through the Capital, and twisted to serve their purposes.

Tackling that idea of history being written by those in power with a notoriously inconsistent medium? Goddamn, writer that you are, Suzanne Collins.

can catholics start feeling guilty about all the antisemitism and genocide and forced conversions and colonialism and the ratlines instead of whatever stupid bullshit "catholic guilt" currently means?

Danny, poor, down on his luck, on the run and in desperate need of funds: I bet I know more about that Lazarus water than you.

Tim: Ridiculous we have spent years trying to study it.

Danny: I bet you 10 thousand dollars.

Tim: You don't have that much money.

Danny: No, but you do, and I am sure I am right. Deal?

Tim: Sure, but don't worry I am nice enough to not actually make you pay.

Danny: * Gives a detailed, scientific break down of Lazarus water and how it functions *

Tim:

Danny: I don't accept checks. Cash only.

My parents’ second rule of driving: your car is a weapon.

idk. too many people drive like they don’t realize (or care) that they could die and/or kill someone. as a result of the way they are driving. sorry if i sound lame or ancient i just feel insane witnessing the lack of concern on a regular basis. The vehicle you are in is thousands of pounds going many miles an hour. do you know this

Nobody talking about how clicker training is so much more effective when you're already turned on just by the idea of it. When it's only been fantasy in your head for so long that you feel yourself getting wet in anticipation of a click not because you're well-trained but because it's still novel and exciting. And by the time it no longer is - once it settles in as routine - well.. that's exactly the point, isn't it?

But a dumb puppy, out of it, and so excitable during their first training session can absolutely convince themself that they're just incredibly well-trained. They're not the one with the brain after all, they shouldn't have to know how it works...

So when you sink inside them for the first time, be sure to give them a click just to feel them tighten around you. When your fingers/tongue find their most sensitive parts, make things even more wet n messy down there by rewarding them with a click. And when they've finally earned their real treat and you're ready to fill one of their needy holes to the brim, be sure to spam click click click over and over again until you've finished, just to hear how pretty they can moan and whine with each one.
